TO BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING ...


This is believed to be the earliest picture of the young TP. 

Taken in a photographic studio when he would have been about two, it was then hand tinted and presented on a wood cut-out with stand. 

For as long as anyone can remember it took pride of place in a glass cabinet in the parlour of TP's parents' house in Mullagh. 

Incidentally, TP's gorgeous curls provide a reminder of his first great romance,  of which he would often talk - Shirley Temple!  Sure, didn't he fall in love with her the first time he saw her on the Silver Screen.
